A statement on behalf of Lafarge Canada Inc on the death of a cyclist in London

MONTREAL, Aug. 7, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - We were deeply distressed when we
learned of this fatal incident involving a concrete truck owned and
operated by Lafarge and a cyclist in London. Our thoughts and prayers
are with those who are affected by this tragedy, especially the family
and friends of the cyclist.

To know that a family has been forever changed by this tragedy is
devastating. The loss is heart wrenching, the impact lasting. Today,
and for many days to come, our hearts will be with the family and
friends as they face this difficult time.

At Lafarge, safety is our most important value. This terrible tragedy
serves to remind us of the vital importance of safety in our community.

We are taking all necessary steps to establish all of the facts and will
cooperate fully with the authorities as they continue their
investigation.
